Hello, I'm SnapSnap. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SnapSnap 03:30, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Dan56. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Pour It Up, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! After all, readers need to know that the material in an article is not just made up. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 04:06, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Josh3580. I noticed that you made a comment on the page User:0ATRL/Satellites with this edit that didn't seem very civil, so I removed it. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it’s one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Josh3580_talk/hist 07:51, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi,

I noticed you adjusted the Template:2020 Democratic Party primary results table template here: [1] to account for Delaware's shifting of their primary date. However, you forgot to update the delegate totals for those two days. I got you covered in my edit here: [2]. Thanks for the initial update. David O. Johnson (talk) 22:31, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for catching that! Piratetales (talk) 03:47, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Ava Max. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

How is Ava Max's own Myspace page unreferenced or poorly referenced? There is nothing defamatory about someone's real age. Please don't try to censor the truth: that's undemocratic. Piratetales (talk) 23:56, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

1. The MySpace page is for someone named "Amanda Kay". Nowhere in our article does it say she went by this name. So we have not established that this is hers.
2. MySpace had no mechanism for "verified" or "blue check" pages, which is what Wikipedia standards require when citing social media.
3. We already have a reliable secondary source listing her birthdate. If she claims a different one, and that is also found in a reliable source, then we have a discrepancy that needs to be addressed, not by changing it unilaterally.
4. Don't remove valid sources and information. That's disruptive. Elizium23 (talk) 00:01, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
